JOhnny's Illustration.

A Boston mother was assisting her
little boy in the mastery of his geogra-
ply lesson, and, coming to the descrip-
ton of desert, which formed part OF
the lesson to be memorized, she quoted
the words of the textbook to the effect
that it was "a barren tract" The little
fellow repeated the descriptive phrase
after her, but his air of mystifcation
showed that he hadn't the slightest
idea of the meaning conveyed by the
group of words, and, the better to
reach his youthful understanding, she
endeavored to simplify the description
by defining it as "aplace where nothing
would grow" The boys face bright
ened with the light of awakened intelli-
gence, and the mother, proud and ex-
pectant, put the question: Now,
Johnny. what is q desert?" Prompt
came the response: "Pa's bald head!"

takes an interest in those practical de-

woman so valuable to man who wants
to keep house. The youngster is but

none of them like dessert. But the

came to dinner, and it came to ques-
ton as to whether he might not like a
